Opexa filed a form 8K with the SEC today to cancel the open label clinical trial for Tovaxin. We have all been receiving phone calls today letting us know that due to lack of funding the clinical trial is over.
Guess it's back to square one for me and about 100 others.... Quote:

I don't even know what I am going to do at this point. The rug has just been pulled out from under me...all of us. We sort of saw it coming, but figured something would happen and funding would come. But guess not. It goes to show you what the press can do to a small pharma company.

It's not "drug", so does it even need FDA approval to be marketed? So, it just fades away as an option? Cherie

Yes it does require FDA approval. It's a vaccine, a blood product, and thus FDA approval is required. Clinical trials are required. They have applied for a patent and who knows, if they get more funding, they could reapply and get approval to continue the Phase III open label trial.
